3-Oxopentanoic acid

CAS: 10191-25-0

3-Oxopentanoic acid is a fatty acid that is produced by the subunits of the liver. It is metabolized to propionyl CoA and then converted to 3-hydroxybutyrate or acetoacetate in the mitochondria. The conversion of propionyl CoA to 3-oxopentanoic acid is catalyzed by an amide synthetase, while the conversion of 3-oxopentanoic acid to acetoacetate is catalyzed by a β-ketothiolase. This fatty acid has been shown to be useful for the treatment of diabetes because it suppresses insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells and improves glucose uptake in muscle cells. It has also been speculated that this compound may have anti-inflammatory properties due to its inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.
